BXBX NOVEL Chapter 365 - Its A Pity
Chapter 365 - It\'s A Pity
"You let them leave?" Kang Jiayi thought there would be a conflict. He came here to mediate the two if a fight broke out.
The other side was military force, even though he decided to join the empire. The old man did not want to have a conflict against the remnants of the military force.
To his surprise, Tang Shaoyang maintained his composure during the talk.
"Yeah, it\'s a pity," Tang Shaoyang had a regretful expression as he replied to his father-in-law.
"What do you mean?" The old man could not understand the thought of this young man. He thought his son-in-law had changed, but he seemed to be wrong.
"It\'s a pity he did not take my taunt, if he fell for the taunt, we could start the war and take their smart base," Tang Shaoyang shared his thoughts. He was baiting them to attack him, but they did not fall for it.
Kang Jiayi\'s eyes widened in shock. But soon a frown appeared on his forehead. He was confused and surprised at the same time.
He might only know Tang Shaoyang for a little over two months. However, he knew that man well. If he wanted to war, he would do it even without a legitimate reason.
He was confused as to why Tang Shaoyang needed a legitimate reason to start the thing he wanted, a war.
"How do you know that they also have a smart base like this?" Zhang Mengyao asked as she wondered how he knew about this, "Did you send spies to SZ City?"
"Nope, I can tell that from Yan Kui\'s reaction. He is not surprised by our base, that means they have one too," Tang Shaoyang concluded after seeing Yan Kui\'s reaction.
"You say you want to war against them? You seem confident to win? Don\'t they have the tank?" Kang Xue was concerned. She heard that the group was driving the armored vehicle with a machine gun. If the small group could bring such an armored vehicle, they should have something like a tank.
Even though she had witnessed the supernatural power, Kang Xue was still thinking that the tank was superior to them.
"I am a living tank myself, such a weapon holds no threat to us," Tang Shaoyang was not exaggerating himself. The [Fire Breath] should be more than enough to melt the tank, and his integration with Zowen turned him into a Lightning Tank.
Even with Karan, his [Earth Split] Should be enough to disable the tank. On top of that, he had two new spirits. He had not tried to integrate with Malki and Feera, but the integration with them should be as strong as when he integrated with Zowen if not stronger.
Also, he had them tested yesterday. Those people were too weak even to respond to Lu An and Kairu\'s movement. He believed they could easily overwhelm the soldiers even with the same people who passed through the Survival Game.
He told them his thoughts about the military force, his ideas about them. From how he measures their strength through the simple meeting.
Zhang Mengyao was surprised to hear everything. She thought that her man would act based on his desire and emotion, but she realized that he had changed.
"What should we do now? Will we invade SZ City?" Zhang Mengyao asked out. There was a sign of reluctance in her tone.
The world changed, the zombies and the beasts should be their enemies. They should not be killing each other. However, she would follow the order if Tang Shaoyang asked her to lead the army to war against the military force.
"We will complete our initial plan, we are not going anywhere until everything in the city is done. We will be hunting all the game in the city, making more farms for our food supply, establishing a firm system so the same thing will not be repeated, and training more army. We don\'t know what awaits us in the future, we have to be prepared for anything," Tang Shaoyang replied casually.
Of course, he had something different in his mind. He was pretty sure that this military force was still eyeing his base. They would come back for him for sure. He did not need to make the initial move, he just needed to be prepared and anticipate what would come for them.
\'Maybe I should send Wen to spy the SZ City,\' he considered sending Wen who could fly quickly to the SZ City.
"Ah, what about the financial team I asked for? How many people apply for the job?"

Yan Kui had an ugly face. He did not expect that the opposite party did not give them some face and rejected them outright like that.
"What should we do? Should we execute plan b?" One of his subordinates asked out.
Yan Kui did his work meticulously, he had planned the things even though the talk did not go smoothly. They had a plan b to take over the base.
"Let\'s do that, let\'s see what he would do when these people riot against him!" Taking a deep breath, Yan Kui nodded his head. Since the opposite party chose the hard way, they would deliver it to them.
Ding!
The elevator door opened and he arrived in the lobby. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Zhao Zhong greeted them with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Yan. We met again."
Zhao Zhong was holding the guest forms these people signed yesterday, "Our Leader asked me to get the fee," he waved the form to Yan Kui.
Yan Kui\'s eyes bulged out, he was about to burst out, but he managed to calm himself. He felt that the opposite party was doing this intentionally, "Don\'t get provoked, they seem to do this purposely," he said to his subordinates in a low voice.
The talk did not go well. It could be said that they offended the Boss of this base. It was normal if they tried to do something to them.
"What if we don\'t pay?" Yan Kui asked Zhao Zhong.
"That\'s easy, we will put you under arrest until you pay the amount you owe us. If you don\'t pay for three months, we will enforce our policy. You have to sign a slave contract to pay the coin you owe," Zhao Zhong explained what would happen if they did not pay the fee.
Yan Kui scanned the lobby, he quickly noticed that there were many people in armor. It was clear that these people were here for them. He then noticed the two beastmen, the ape and the lion. The two were standing behind but not out of his sight.
Yan Kui was aware that he and his team were in a dire situation, "Alright," he did not have the choice but to pay.
His men were about to speak out, but he prevented them from speaking. If a clash broke out, they were giving these people an excuse to catch them and put them under arrest.
They paid the fee, 50 coins each, 1050 coins in total. It amounted to nothing to the empire\'s treasury, but the system was built for the future where many people would visit their territory.
The five automatic rifles were given back to them. They were relieved when the guns were back in their hands.
However, there was one thing that bothered Yan Kui. He and his group were followed by Zhao Zhong and the two beastmen.
"Why are you following us?" The one pissed soldier shot a glare at Zhao Zhong.
"We are escorting you back to the gate to make sure you don\'t get lost. It would be troublesome if one of you suddenly goes missing," Zhao Zhong smiled at the group.
Yan Kui could not help but grit his teeth. If these people followed them, they could not execute their plan. He was sure that Zhao Zhong and the two beastmen would stop them.
The plan b was quite simple, they just needed to do a convincing oration to the survivors. They were planning to persuade the survivors to leave this base and follow them to the SZ City Establishment.
Reducing the number of people in this base would benefit them if the war broke out. But with Zhao Zhong and the two beastmen watching over them, Yan Kui could not execute his plan b.
However, there was one man who was not afraid of losing his life as long as he could screw Tang Shaoyang. That man was Yi Qiao.
He stepped out from the group and shouted on top of his lungs, "We are from the military force of SZ Region. You can take shelter in the military establishment, we, the soldiers, will protect you from the hideous zombies!"
